Enlighten is a whole festival designed around showing you pretty things, surely some of you have taken a pretty photo or two you’d like to share with the public? Remember Enlighten is on next weekend as well, so if you’ve yet to check it out make sure you wander down. It is quite pretty,

I took this shot on Friday night and decided it was too good not to share.
Now if anyone can tell me what the name of the work and the artist is that would be great as I’ve scanned the National Gallery’s online collection in two different ways (and it takes some time) with no result.
Got [...]

How was your weekend? Did you have fun? Did you park anywhere stupid?

1. RP071 had to send us two pictures of this park just to prove the car was actually stationary and not in the process of parking:

I snapped this picture of this I30 on Newland [...]

I’m just home from a great night out at Enlighten.
The food vendors are top notch, the bars have some decent drops on sale, and the magic of the night and the lights is something else.
They seem to have made the site less concentrated this year. Which is good for seeing more of the buildings, but [...]

Another month gone (those still using wristwatches will be wanting to wind forward a few days to 1 March) and another collage to help us relive the glory the was was February.

Damien has sent in a parking example worthy of its own post:
Putting the Tavern in Taverner…
If you’re going to try and get sideways on every corner when it rains then you should master the art of counter-steering first.
Corner of Drakeford and Taverner, Wanniassa.

Keiran sent us this little image.
Thought this might interest not under bad parking but an absolute cracker visiting Dad at Canberra Hospital.

Matt has given us permission to talk about his latest adventure:
Steve (more likely Stephanie) was invading a home in Canberra and has been left in good condition some miles away.

The University of Canberra has created a truly wonderful welcome video and placed it as a gift unto the nations on YouTube.
There are some magical moments. Below is my own favourite at 2:37.
For the pint of your choosing and/or the glory of being declared a winner, have a go at finding something funnier!

A reader has sent in this scene from Queanbeyan today.

I don’t quite know what to make of today’s article in the CT about the increasing Gungahlin police beat. After initially being horrified at the notion that they had quiet times, I came to the realisation that the article is actually an excuse for the lack of action here in Gungahlin.
Here’s what happens in Gungahlin [...]

Thought this was funny and I should share.

These latest in yesterday from Ben_Dover:
I managed to get the dogs up Mt Painter for a walk this morning, caught a gap in the rain fortunately!
PS. These are not HDR, before anyone asks.

It’s Monday! People have been parking poorly! I will judge them!

Here’s what we got last week.

1) Astrojax sent this in:

2) Chris sent us this one from Manuka:
Got [...]

Holden Caulfield has sent this in:
I went for a bit of a drive yesterday and found myself in Bonner. The elevated view to the south from Ida West Street is actually very good. In return for your lengthy adventure you get a wonderful panorama to enjoy which showcases the city of Canberra rather nicely.
People will [...]

Still summer!
Who can remember an earlier one?

Sure they’re noisy, messy, and destructive.
But it never ceases to be magical when you walk past them as they go about their business. (Taken with a phone, not a telephoto lens)

Following on from the story we posted earlier this week, a second Youtuber has managed to capture evidence of Canberra’s alien onslaught. TiendaGrande Es captured this footage of our white dot-esque visitors from the window of a plane.
Watch the skies!

Benaresq sent this in, can anyone confirm the veracity?
I recently noticed a bus stop next to a shared path in Weston.
Not sure if it’s some surprisingly clever vandalism, subtle street art or the result of a horrible government miscommunication, but it’s amusing anyway.

As seen in O’Connor this morning on a light pole.
Nice use of an exclamation mark.

Youtuber FindingUFO has posted a video showing some mysterious white dots in front of some black stuff.
Canberra is ground zero for the alien invasion. Start stockpiling tins of beans, baseball bats, and plenty of tinfoil hats.

This UFO sighting was filmed during night in Canberra, Australia. Thank you for watching. Please like, [...]

I noticed the PM XI Honours Board at a recent Manuka function, given this is the only prestige match we have here normally I’d have hoped Manuka management could at least have kept it up to date?
Does anyone on Riotact want to nip along there with some gold paint and bring the board up [...]

Monday! Bad Parking! Get your phones out and email the offending drivers’ handiwork in to images@the-riotact.com .
Here’s the last week’s worth:

1) Rachel got this one at Jamison:
Here is another pic of an inconsiderate driver for you to post up!
Taken at Jamison Shopping Centre this afternoon.

2) Is Jamison the epicentre of poor parking in Canberra? Overheard [...]

I was behind this car this morning; I’m not sure that a Ford Laser circa 1986 qualifies as an historic vehicle?
